- As title really. Never used SL before and was wondering which one was more appropriate for dual booting with Windows with. I'm guessing CoreCDX reading up (better installer).

- Also, I can't find any n00b Spinbase / CoreCDX tutorials to install KDE on top of base (when it's installed). Could someone just run through that for me. I've read the Entropy wiki and am reading the other links etc to catch up.

Use CoreCDX, then you've got the X.Org Server installed too. Once you've installed KDE as explained by ratcheer, don't forget to edit /etc/conf.d/xdm to change DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" to DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" in order to use the KDE Display Manager.

That's a pain. I've just had a look at the package list, and CoreCDX has NetworkManager but no nm-applet. OK, so you're going to have to boot the LiveDVD and chroot into the installation (see https://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?titl ... m_a_LiveCD) then install nm-applet plus do the following:

Essentially, yes, but make sure you do an equo update first so as to update the local Entropy database on your machine. Also, once you have Internet access, make sure you read Entropy: Fresh Install - What to do?.

Interesting, wonder why it worked for me. I did basic setups with v8 and v9 corecdx like that. Could it be that you need to authenticate even with wired connections? I'm on cable & I just plug anything in and it works.
